Upgrading my vapes worth it?

Hi everyone!
I could be in the market for new vape(s). I currently have a Solo as my Portable. I love it although it could be stealthier, convection only and as always with portable...more battery power...or maybe not more battery power, but more accessible...something like USB. Honestly though the only vapes I've been looking that wouldn't replace it, but complement my Solo would be a Pax or a Inhalator XP. Since they are more inconspicuous.

As for my desktop vape, I have a Vriptech Heat Wand that I love as well. The only contender would be the VapeXhale Cloud Evo. Or since I like the Solo I was thinking of a whip and bag combination, but I'm not really well versed in the desktop vapes Hehe

I'm looking for a pretty stealthy unit, as it's the main selling point for me. What I mean by stealth is something I can use and only potheads would know it's a herb vaporizer, or stiff people who think everything's for the "Evil Drugs".

The Pax seems to fit the bill, but the price point is pretty high (no pun intended ) so if I'd go for it it would have to be a pretty tasty vape, I mean clean tasting vapor.

The Firefly looks really nice but it doesn't cover what I'm looking for as far as stealth goes.

Though I'm really interested in the Grasshopper as it ticks all my boxes...I'm just hoping it won't end up like the pseudo vapes e-cig-a-like that still combust a little bit.
I'm ready to spend however much for the perfect portable. But if it's affordable, I'm all for it, I'm pretty poor, literally
Also I don't use concentrates, and when I do I use my Ti Nail.

As for the Cloud Evo, I'm mostly looking for a water bonging tool. I already have a Vriptech Heat Wand and I'm still perplex it would be a big jump up...
I think my best bet would be a combo wand/bag vape for variety reasons. I still use the Solo for a couple of hits before getting big vape clouds from the Vriptech...They kinda give a different high I think.

Good luck dude, I'm seriously interested to see what you end up with. There aren't really any clear winners in the ultra-stealth vaporizer category currently. All of them have problems, and none of them perform perfectly. The only way to go full stealth is with concentrations from what I gather.

I still think the PAX is your best option for stealth right now that fits all your needs. Except taste, the pax isn't that wonderful of a taste, but it does the job.

I'm mostly looking if it's worth it...depending if I find one to my liking or not. If I don't I'll just save it for when that/those vapes will exist.

Yes I'm looking into the Indica vaporizer and it seems pretty nice, although stealth wise I'm not quite sure, it's a weird impression, bystanders would probably just wonder what the hell I'm doing with a big Zipper in my mouth hehe I'm considering it still.

About the taste of the Pax, as long as it doesn't taste like plastic or metal or something else, if it's just that you don't get all of the flavors I'm ok with that.

I love my Log vape (nano) - takes a while to heat up - but I normally crank it up when I first get home. By the time I settle down for a session, it's usually ready to go.

If you don't need to buy a stealth unit right now, I would wait. I still am not convinced there's a good stealth vape on the market that works with raw flowers (there are plenty of options for concentrates). The pax like I said medicates, but the taste is nothing to write home about, and you need to clean the hell out of it weekly to keep it working properly.

I've only had one whip vape - it was a vape brother's knockoff - hated the taste, didn't like it at all when I bought it (first vape ever 5 years ago, didn't convert me to vaping). After my first real vape died shortly after saying "fuck combustion!", I was desperate and pulled it out of the closet. Cleaned it and bought a fresh tube for the whip, still tasted like ass.

7th Floor's Da Buddha is time tested and affordable, with the SSV not too much more. Rich hits from both.

If does Bags as well it's a plus.

A dual mode vape in the same general price category (herbalAire or Extreme) will be a slight to moderate compromise on the direct draw side. I'd make sure you really intend to use the bag fill feature if you go dual mode. I've used all 4 of the above mentioned models and for direct draw the 7th Floor products are easily the better choice IMO.

Or should I look into a log vape instead of a whip?

The e-nano has versatility going for it, as well as a nice temp control. You can use it easily with water filtration for bigger hits, and sipping from the glass stem allows you to vape in conservation mode, using less of your supply while still getting a satisfactory amount of vapor. It won't give you lung busting, eye watering hits like the DBV or SSV can, but it can still pack a big punch if you want to use it that way.

There's no reason a whip vape should taste bad unless it's a total POS and dangerouse to use. I've used cheap ones in the past and they've worked quite well. Bad taste is most often due to hitting ABV.

All good advice. I'm loving how well the Nano still maintains temperature no matter who I hand the vape off to. You can hit it hard or slow, still works great!

I don't know why my VapeBrother's knockoff vape tasted like crap even with a fresh clean whip. But it was a no-name knockoff from my LHS. Who knows what materials were used in it's construction. I'm almost thinking about donating it to Vitolo

Sorry if that came off jerk-ish. I had a guy in a LHS try and sell a knockoff beyon knockoffs to person with realllly bad respiratory problems. Later that week all of them were recalled and pulled from the shelf after the guy claimed it was one of the healthiest they had. Not a good situation of she had bought and used it. :/
